We asked to buy your records, and you heard us.

Thank you to everyone who has reached out, set up a time, and sold to Good Reception Records. We’re looking to build inventory in anticipation of the shop, and meeting folks to help us in the endeavor is what it’s all about.

Please enjoy this quick video of some recent pickups, all coming from a number of newly source collections. We will be pricing these and many more for the Good Reception Records Pop-Up at Burl Brew on May 28th. Our second go-round with this event we’re adding more DJs, more vendors, and naturally, more records.

Be good and see you tomorrow.

So nice, we are doing it twice ✌️

Good Reception Records will host our second pop-up at The Burl Brew with more vendors, more DJs and more records.

Our inventory has grown significantly since the last time we were here (thank you to all who contacted us!), and we will have it all on hand at this event, along with the last of our current merchandise run. Vendors Reid Small and Jawn Coffee will be on site with us too, with records of their own.

DJ Best Western and long time co-conspirator DJ Adjusted EBITDA (Brock Ward) will be dialed into a mellow island vibe welcoming summer tans and vermouth on the rocks. Calling all beach freaks.

As always, thanks to our hosts Burl Brew

See you there.
